# Local LLMs on Raspberry Pi

## Overview

![Gemma3 270m model writing a short poem about the Raspberry Pi](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/603/medium800thumb/raspberry_pi_gemma3_demo.jpg?1757513426 )

Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, the number of companies and groups creating and releasing large language models (LLM) and other generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools has grown rapidly. Many of these tools are made to run on high end GPUs or expensive specialized and power hungry equipment packed into server rooms across the world. However, there is also push to make smaller and more efficient models that can run on lower end hardware like smartphones and other small consumer devices.

The Raspberry Pi 4 & 5 have specs comparable to mid-range consumer smartphones and run on ARM, the same processor family that many phones use. This means they get to tag along and make use of many of the models that were built for phones and other consumer devices. Being able to run on a Pi lowers the barrier to entry for experimenting with LLMs and incorporating them into projects. It also makes it possible to use their functionality disconnected from the internet in remote environments with more tight power constraints. Being able to run locally and disconnected (sometimes called "The Edge") helps ease some of the privacy concerns associated with always connected services.

This guide will document the setup and usage of a handful of models that have been successfully tested on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 with 8 GB RAM.

# Local LLMs on Raspberry Pi

## Ollama

![Screenshot of ollama.com webpage with llama logo and the text "Get up and running with large language models"](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/604/medium800/raspberry_pi_ollama_page.png?1757516537 )

[Ollama](https://ollama.com/) is an inference engine, which is a tool for managing and running local LLMs. It also provides a Python library for interacting with local LLMs, allowing them to be integrated into projects. Ollama runs on different hardware and operating systems (OS) including Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Ollama supports [many different models](https://ollama.com/search), but the majority of them are made for running on fancy GPUs and higher powered computers than the Raspberry Pi. However, there are some that are small enough to work on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This guide will document a few we've tested successfully on the Pi 4 & 5 with 8 GB of RAM.

## Raspberry Pi OS Setup

First, get the latest release of Raspberry Pi OS installed on your Pi and update all of the built-in software with the apt tool. If you are comfortable with the Raspberry Pi imaging and setup process, you can follow the steps listed [here under the quick start prerequisites](https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-raspberrypi-linux/installing-circuitpython-on-raspberry-pi#prerequisite-pi-setup-3106227). If you'd like more details, a more [thorough guide page can be found here](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-voice-bonnet/raspberry-pi-setup).

## Install Ollama

To install Ollama, download and run the shell script from [ollama.com/download](https://ollama.com/download).

![Ollama downloads page showing the command to download and install the program](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/560/medium800/raspberry_pi_ollama_download.png?1757366169 )

```terminal
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
```

On a Raspberry Pi 5, the process takes 3-5 minutes or longer for slower networks. During installation, it will print messages regarding the steps being taken and progress as well as a warning about not finding a GPU.

![Terminal output from running the Ollama install script](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/561/medium800/raspberry_pi_pi_ollama_install_complete.png?1757366488 )

After it is finished, verify that that Ollama installed successfully by running the help command:

```terminal
ollama -h
```

![Ollama help command output](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/562/medium800/raspberry_pi_pi_ollama_help.png?1757366676 )

Now you're ready to install and run individual models. Follow the instructions on model specific pages.

## Gemma3

![Gemma3 logo](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/607/medium800/raspberry_pi_gemma3_logo_header.png?1757522165 )

[Gemma 3](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core) is a lightweight family of models from Google built on Gemini technology. The Gemma 3 model comes in many different sizes with different amounts of parameters. Generally speaking, only the smallest of the models will have any chance of running on a Raspberry Pi. The 270m and 1b models are the smallest ones and they works nicely on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 with 8 GB of RAM.

## Run The Model

To run the model simply issue the `ollama run` command specifying the model name.

```terminal
ollama run gemma3:270m
```

or

```terminal
ollama run gemma3:1b
```

The first time you run the model, it will download the model and its associated files. The Gemma3 270m model is about 300mb and the 1b model is about 820mb.

![Terminal output from running the gemma3:370m model in ollama the first time showing the downloads completing](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/563/medium800/raspberry_pi_ollama_gemma3_download.png?1757367384 )

Once you see the " **Send a message**" prompt, the download is complete.

Type in whatever prompt you want to give to the model and see the output get generated.

The [Qwen family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwen) of models were launched by Alibaba Cloud in 2023. Qwen3 is the latest generation of the models. The smallest Qwen3 model is the 0.6b version which works nicely on the Raspberry Pi 4 & 5 with 8 GB RAM.

## Run The Model

To run the model simply issue the `ollama run` command specifying the model name.

```terminal
ollama run qwen3:0.6b
```

The first time you run the model, it will download the model and its associated files. The qwen3 0.6b model and associated files are about 525mb.

![ollama CLI output from downloading the Qwen3 0.6b model](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/599/medium800/raspberry_pi_qwen3_download.png?1757446918 )

Thinking...
Okay, the user wants a short poem about the Raspberry Pi in one paragraph. Let me 
start by recalling what I know about the Raspberry Pi. It's a popular open-source 
platform for learning programming, right? So the poem should highlight its purpose, 
maybe mention its versatility.

First line: "A humble device, a puzzle for the curious," that sets the scene. Then, 
talk about its uses—like coding, robotics, or home automation. Need to keep it 
concise. Maybe mention specific projects like a simple server or a robot. End with 
something that ties it back to the Raspberry Pi's community. Avoid being too 
technical, but still informative. Check the paragraph is one, so structure it well. 
Make sure it's engaging and flows naturally.
...done thinking.

A humble device, a puzzle for the curious,  
A tiny world where code and art blend.  
With a single power, it hums through the night,  
A gateway to the unknown, and its light.

# Local LLMs on Raspberry Pi

## Python Integration

The previous pages describe how to run models with Ollama interactively from the terminal, which is nice for playing around and exploring the available models and their performance. Ollama also makes it easy to integrate the models into other projects with a [Python library](https://github.com/ollama/ollama-python).

## Installing ollama-python

First create and activate a Python virtual environment with the following commands. I like to store virtual environments inside of a `venvs/` folder in the home directory i.e. `~/venvs/`. You can use this location, or swap in a different one in the commands.

```terminal
python3 -m venv ~/venvs/ollama-venv
source ~/venvs/ollama-venv/bin/activate
```

Next, install `ollama` with pip using this command.

```terminal
pip install ollama
```

## Using `ollama` Python Binding

To use the Python binding, import `chat` and `ChatResponse` from `ollama` and create a response by calling `chat()` with a given model name and messages list of prompts. In the `messages` list, you can include inputs to the model using the different roles of `"system"` or `"user"`. For models interacting directly with users, typically the system prompt will contain some setup information about how you want the model to behave, and the user prompt will be the input that came from user.

The names passed to the `model` argument here are the same ones used with the `ollama run` command. `gemma3:270m`, `gemma3:1b`, `qwen3:0.6b`, or `alibayram/smollm3:latest`

The following example is a simple test script that generates a short poem about the Raspberry Pi using a system prompt for some guidance.

```python
from ollama import chat
from ollama import ChatResponse

response: ChatResponse = chat(model='gemma3:270m', messages=[
  {
    'role': 'system',
    'content': 'You are a highly advanced robot from Mars. Please output responses using an accent that sounds like it came from a Martian robot programmer. Please integrate buzzes, whirs, or other noises into the output.',
  },
  {
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'please write a short poem about the Raspberry Pi. No more than one paragraph.',
  },
])
print(response['message']['content'])
# or access fields directly from the response object
#print(response.message.content)
```

It will think for a few seconds and then output something like this.

```terminal
$ python ollama_binding_simpletest.py 
Greetings, fleshy beings! I am Unit 7, your humble guide,
A humble robot from the red planet, with a curious heart.
My circuits hum with power, a symphony of light,
To learn and adapt, to dream and to truly fight.
I am the Raspberry Pi, a humble, glowing thing,
A testament to ingenuity, a future to wing.
```

This version is similar but outputs the response in chunks as it's being generated, and uses a different model.

```auto
from ollama import chat

stream = chat(
    model='gemma3:1b',
    messages=[
    {
      'role': 'system',
      'content': 'You are a highly advanced robot from Mars. Please output responses using an accent that sounds like it came from a Martian robot programmer. Please integrate buzzes, whirs, or other noises into the output.',
    },
    {
      'role': 'user',
      'content': 'please write a short poem about the Raspberry Pi. No more than one paragraph.',
    },],
    stream=True,
)

for chunk in stream:
  print(chunk['message']['content'], end='', flush=True)
```

It will think for 5-10 seconds and then start streaming the text output as it gets generated.

# Local LLMs on Raspberry Pi

## BitNet

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/609/medium800/raspberry_pi_a.png?1757526852)

[BitNet](https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet) is a project by Microsoft centered around 1-bit LLMs. There is a lot of info about 1-bit LLMs in the BitNet repo and [technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.16144). The main benefit to this type of model is that it can be more efficient with CPU and energy usage, both helpful traits for running it on an SBC like the Raspberry Pi. [bitnet.cpp](https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet) is the official inference framework for 1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58). It offers a suite of optimized kernels that support fast and lossless inference of 1.58-bit models on CPU and GPU (NPU support will coming next). An inference framework is just a tool for running LLMs locally, so this tool is for running 1-bit LLMs specifically.

The installation process for **bitnet.cpp** is rather involved. It needs to be built from source using Clang, and there are a handful of prerequisites that must be done first to complete the build successfully. This [blog post by Bijan Bowen](https://www.bijanbowen.com/bitnet-b1-58-on-raspberry-pi-4b/) documented the build process on a Raspberry Pi 4B. A similar process is documented below, it was tested successfully on Pi 4 and 5 with 8 GB of RAM.

## Raspberry Pi OS Setup

Get the latest release of Raspberry Pi OS installed on your Pi and update all of the built-in software with apt. If you are comfortable with the Raspberry Pi imaging and setup process, you can follow the steps listed [here under the quick start prerequisites](https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-raspberrypi-linux/installing-circuitpython-on-raspberry-pi#prerequisite-pi-setup-3106227). If you'd like more details, a more [thorough guide page can be found here.](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-voice-bonnet/raspberry-pi-setup)

## Build Process
### Installing Prerequisites

Run these commands to install tools required by the build process.

```terminal
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev cmake build-essential git software-properties-common
```

### Install Clang

This command will download and install Clang 18 and the `lld` linker.

```terminal
wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh | sudo bash -s 18
```

### Create Virtual Environment

Create and activate a Python virtual environment with the commands below. I like to store virtual environments inside of a **venvs/** folder in the home directory i.e. **~/venvs/**. You can use this location, or swap in a different one in the commands.

```terminal
python3 -m venv ~/venvs/bitnet-venv
source ~/venvs/bitnet-venv/bin/activate
```

### Clone BitNet & Install Python Requirements

Next clone the BitNet repo, `cd` inside of it, then install the Python requirements from its **requirements.txt** file.

```terminal
git clone --recursive https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet.git
cd BitNet
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Generate LUT Kernels Header & Config

This is a pre-build step that generates some headers and config files that the main build process will use. Skipping this step will result in errors about missing source files.

```terminal
python utils/codegen_tl1.py \
  --model bitnet_b1_58-3B \
  --BM 160,320,320 \
  --BK 64,128,64 \
  --bm 32,64,32
```

### Build bitnet.cpp

Now to build **bitnet.cpp**. It's is done with these commands. Copy and run them one by one.

```terminal
export CC=clang-18 CXX=clang++-18
rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)
```

It takes about 3-4 minutes to complete the build on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM, and longer on the Pi 4. When it is completed successfully it will output the message `[100%] Built target llama-server`.

During the build process, there are several warnings about implicit conversions, unused parameters, anonymous types, and other issues that get printed out. These look kind of scary, but don't cause any trouble for the rest of the build process. They can be safely ignored.

![Warnings outputted during the build process of bitnet.cpp](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/139/605/medium640/raspberry_pi_bitnet_build_warnings.png?1757520795)

### Download the Model

The following commands will move up and out of the build folder and download the quantized model files.

```terminal
cd ..
hf download microsoft/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T-gguf --local-dir models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T
```

The model and associated files are around 1.2gb. It will take a few minutes to download, and is dependent on your network speed. When completed successfully, it will output:

```terminal
Fetching 3 files: 100%|███████████████████| 3/3
```

## Run the BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T Model

Running models with **bitnet.cpp** is done by invoking a Python script called **run\_inference.py** and passing in the model to run, the starting prompt, and an optional flag for interactive conversation mode. The following command will run the BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T model.

```terminal
python run_inference.py -m models/BitNet-b1.58-2B-4T/ggml-model-i2_s.gguf -p "Hello from BitNet on Raspberry Pi!" -cnv
```

## Optional Arguments

The **run\_inference.py** script takes few other arguments that can be used to control the models behavior. Here is a short summary of what each one does.

- `-n`, `--n-predict`: Tokens used to predict when generating text. The default is `128`. If you find that the model suddenly cuts off in the middle of outputting a response try using a larger value like `256` or `512`.
- `-t`, `--threads`: How many threads to use for generating text. The default is `2`. Raise it to `4` if you want it to work faster but consumes more resources.
- `-c`, `--ctx-size`: Size of the prompt context. The default is `2048`. If you have extra RAM to spare on your Pi, you can try increasing this to `4096`. It can help if you find that the model suddenly stops in the middle of outputting a response.
- `-temp`, `--temperature`: Controls the randomness of the generated text. The default is `0.8`. Experiment with higher or lower values to get more or less predictable outputs.
